Kelly wanted to make sure that his department was doing everything necessary to minimize the unnecessary discharge of firearms. He asked the RAND Corporation to examine the quality and completeness of the New York City Police Department (NYPD) firearm-training program and identify potential improvements in the design and delivery of the curriculum, the technology used, the frequency and duration of training sessions, the tactics and procedures on which the training is based, and the police department's firearm-discharge review process. This monograph reports the observations, findings, and recommendations of that study. 606 $aPolice shootings$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xEvaluation 606 $aPolice training$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xEvaluation 606 $aFirearms$xUse in crime prevention$xStudy and teaching$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xEvaluation 615 0$aPolice shootings$xEvaluation. 615 0$aPolice training$xEvaluation. 615 0$aFirearms$xUse in crime prevention$xStudy and teaching$xEvaluation. 676 $a363.2/3 701 $aRostker$b Bernard$0863718 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910220160203321 996 $aEvaluation of the New York City Police Department firearm training and firearm-discharge review process$92075497 997 $aUNINA
